Richard
I am
the great great great granddaughter of Duncan
W. Boyd, who served in
the
124th NY Volunteers (also known as the Orange Blossoms). He was
promoted
to sergeant when he saved the life of a fellow soldier who was
lying
wounded in a burning field during the battle of Gettysburg. Duncan
had
to cross enemy rifle fire to reach the wounded man. Duncan
Boyd was
captured
at Totopotomy Creek, Virginia in 1864 and ended up held prisoner
in Andersonville
for 11 months. He was about 44 years old at the time and
survived
it! He was born in Riccarton, Ayr, Scotland in 1820. He was
married
to Isabella Ross. Currently, I am trying to find where he is
buried--I
know that it is in Newburgh, NY, but don't know which
cemetery.
He died in 1895. I am trying to find out when he came to the US
and
on which ship. Thanks for posting the names of Boyd soldiers
in the
Civil
War!! Lorraine

terday
Morning of Heart Trouble
Lives
But a Short Time
Robert
Boyd, a veteran of the Civil war,
died
yesterday morning at his home, 5 Gage
avenue,
at 6 o’clock. Mr. Boyd attended the
Memorial
exercises at the Empire theater
Tuesday
evening and appeared to be in
usual
good health, save from slight
rheumatism,
which had been troubling him for
some
time. He retired feeling as well as
usual,
but was taken suddenly ill at 2 o’clock
with
heart difficulty. Dr. D. M. Hall was
called,
but medical attendance was of no
avail
and death occurred about 6 o’clock.
Robert Boyd was born December 26,
1839
at Bolton, Lake George, and was
therefore
a few months over 66 years of
age.
His parents were Pliny C. and Martha
(Booth)
Boyd. He was one of six children.
